The Ohio Smallmouth Alliance plans February meeting

The Ohio Smallmouth Alliance will meet Thursday evening, February 18, at 7 p.m. at Gander Mountain, 2644 Taylor Road Ext., Reynoldsburg, Ohio. The program for the evening will be “First-time Rod Building,” presented by Mark and Brenda Layman. Learn how to build rods at home with minimal equipment and no previous experience. Instructional materials have been donated by Hook & Hackle. Anglers with the patience and skill to learn rod building can get customized rods for less by crafting their own.
